My name is eStevan deCastro. I am a New Zealand-born writer working on my debut novel, “The Dreamer,” a middle-grade, classic British fantasy-style novel similar in approach to something like Narnia, but written for a modern reader.

My writing career started as an experiment to see if I could learn how to write a book. I loved the experience and have been hooked ever since. Even after 15 years of work, revisions, self-doubt, and anxiety, the heart of the novel’s story and its incredible characters have stayed consistent and remain dear to me.

I am currently working as a Delivery Performance Coach at a large New Zealand bank. A role that fulfils my desire to help people and show them the incredible potential they have. My career has seen me take on many roles. Everything from managing complaint call centres to working as a Production Assistant on major Broadway and Toronto shows. Similarly, my life has also taken me around the world, having lived in Australia, the UK, Canada (where I became a citizen), and back to New Zealand to be with my family.

I am currently open to representation from an agent or to any publishing offers. I am also exploring self-publishing options.
